| Summary: | Throughout World War II, the term 'Europe' featured prominently in National Socialist rhetoric. This book reconstructs what Europe stood for in National Socialist Germany, analyzes how the interplay of its defining elements changed dependent on the war, and shows that the new European order was neither an empty phrase borne out of propaganda, nor was it anti-European. Tying in with long-standing traditions of German European, völkisch and economic thinking, imaginations of a new order became a central category in contemporary political and economic decision-making processes, justifying cooperation as well as exploitation, violence and murder. |
